PANDEMIC SITUATION; 2020 SEASON CONTINUES TO BE ON PAUSE

By Mike Leone

May 11, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Pulaski, PA)...Heading into March, the Pace
Performance RUSH Racing Series together with Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC was
gearing up for what was poised to be a record breaking season across all
divisions; however, an unprecedented situation developed as the COVID-19
pandemic spread throughout the world.

Series Directors Vicki Emig and Mike Leone had scheduled
RUSH-sanctioned events for 2020 at more than 20 different speedways throughout
seven states (PA, OH, WV, NY, MD, VA, and DE) amongst the Late Model, Sprint
Car, Sportsman Modified, Pro Mod, Karting, and Asphalt divisions in 2020. RUSH
Directors continue to monitor the ever changing situation on a daily basis in
hopes to return to racing in the near future. The Series must be cognizant of
each individual state's mandates concerning COVID-19.

"This is an extremely fluid situation from our perspective
as we sanction so many events in different states," explained Emig. "It's
certainly going to put a whole new perspective on our season when it begins as
it has affected every moving piece of the Series including our speedways,
sponsors, and teams. With that said, we hope that when racing does resume
everyone greatly supports our tracks and sponsors."

Over the past several weeks, RUSH's focus has been to
support its sanctioned race tracks as they're facing trying times in so many
respects. RUSH was part of the advisory group put together by the United States
Motorsports Association that included several industry leaders that helped
develop a COVID-19 tool kit for speedways that includes a Race Resumption Plan,
Best Practices, templates, and more. The tool kit and much more is available on
the USMA webpage at
www.unitedstatesmotorsports.com.

RUSH went one step further and recently hosted a Zoom
meeting with sanctioned track promoters to review the USMA COVID-19 information
and network. USMA representative Robert Johnson and motorsports attorney, Ken
McGuire, also took part to answer any questions. Several RUSH promoters
representing five states took part in the two-hour meeting.

Going forward, RUSH hopes everyone stays healthy and safe,
and will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation. RUSH will inform
drivers/owners of any pertinent information. Those with questions or concerns,
can contact the RUSH Office at 724-964-9300 or e-mail [email protected]
